Tuesday night’s performance by Carlos Santana at Clarkston, Michigan’s Pine Knob Music Theatre ended with him passing out on stage. Several social media posts and footage that showed the legendary guitarist waving to fans as he was taken off stage after collapsing went viral. The artist allegedly received treatment right after following his startling tumble.
According to Variety, Santana was singing the song Joy when he sat down on the drum riser and fell backward, some 20 minutes into his performance. After the musician passed out, medical professionals sprinted onto the stage. Although it was later revealed that the guitar legend’s collapse was not due to a significant medical condition. Santana received some water when the show came to a halt, according to a fan video posted on Twitter. Soon after, he has wheeled off the stage. The musician waved farewell to the crowd as he was departing, giving the audience confidence that he was alright.
